A modern apartment building with tall windows and palm trees, illuminated by green and purple lights at dusk. A lit sign in front reads The Dorchester Apartments with a phone number.

Disgusting. The units themselves are alright, obviously freshly painted RIGHT before you move in so the smell is really overwhelming the first few weeks. Apart from that though, the people that live here make it pretty intolerable. People are insanely rude and look at you like they hate you. The laundry room is DISGUSTING! All of my loads have been left smelling like feces due to god knows what these other people are putting in the machines. For the extremely steep price of living here, it is NOT worth it. Disgusting people, mediocre living, and having to pay to run a washer AND a dryer separately just for your clothes to smell like you just crawled out of a sewer. Beyond disappointed and won’t be coming back.

I lived at the Dorchester Apartments for 4 years and loved it! The apartments are spacious and it’s close to SDSU, freeways, and a bunch of places to eat. It’s a great affordable option if you need something in the college area.
